Description:The best thing that Mantegna ever painted was the verdict of Giorgio Vasari writing of the Triumphs of Caesar in the middle of the 16th century. All who see these works - now displayed in the Lower Orangery at Hampton Court - will endorse Vasari's enthusiasm for the paintings which show the Gallic Triumph of Julius Caesar in all its splendour. This study sets the Triumphs in the context of the artist's life, work and intellectual development. It also offers a picture, from contemporary sources, of the environment in which they were created, particularly the Gonzaga Court at Mantua. The catalogue describes the nine large canvases in great detail, and also includes copies, drawings and engravings of this major work of the late Quattrocento. The classical comparisons are supported in the accompanying illustrations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
